Course Objectives: 

The goal of this course is to introduce the students with the formal, structural and functional components of product design. Students are encouraged to consider issues of manufacturing and use, such as efficiency, use of materials, and effective use of resources. Basics of user factors in the context of industrial design, such as physical and cognitive ergonomics, product language and ease of use are addressed as a part of user-centred design methodology, which is integrated in introductory level product design projects.

Course Learning Outcomes: 

Upon successful completion of this course, a student will:

  1. Explain the relationship between structural properties of materials and functional aspects of products.
  2. Examine designed objects in terms of their structural complexity, functionality, efficiency in manufacturability and use of resources.
  3. Predict the impact of the physical and cognitive affordances of products on human-product interaction.
  4. Relate form and function of product with users’ experience with them.
  5. Use appropriate user testing methods at necessary steps throughout the design process at a basic level.
  6. Create prototypes to communicate and gain feedback on design features.
